I checked ebay a couple of days ago, to see if I could find a loupe, that was cheap but wasn't absolutely terrible. I found a seller who has his loupes at 68% off right now and free shipping. I decided to buy one 10x loupe from this seller, at a grand total of $1.84. http://www.ebay.com/itm/26089596054..._3683wt_1185I just received the loupe today, and I am actually quite surprised at how good it is overall. It has a very nice weight to it, and there doesn't seem to be any distortion when looking through the glass. In my opinion, it is a great deal for someone who wan't a decent loupe at a good price. I actually just went back and ordered the 20x loupe that he has as well. It was $2.34 with free shipping. http://www.ebay.com/itm/25084686631..._2693wt_1185*** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. *** |

Yeah, I think you will be surprised. Although I am not a loupe connoisseur, so there may be some small things, that are not perfect, but for a beginning or intermediate loupe, I think it's great.

I should also mention that the sale on the 10x loupe ends in 8 hours, and the 20x loupe in 15 hours.

These cheap loupes are great. The ones I get have a light but the battery doesn't last all that long. No worries for $2 each you cant go wrong.
Order 5 at once then you can have one at home, one at work, one in the car and two backups.

How long did it take to receive it? Says it ships from Hong Kong.

Not that long, actually. I will check the shipping date. It was shipped on the 2nd of June, so only 10 days to receive it. It has taken longer for packages from the states to reach me. Quote:

The packaging was also very good. The loupe comes inside of a small cardboard box, inside that is the small plastic case (shown in the listing), with the loupe inside it. And the loupe is in a small piece of plastic. All of the comes inside of a bubble mailer, which has been lined with a lot of extra bubble wrap type stuff. Edited by Canadian-Banknotes

I also have ordered a model that is a key chain from that same vender but it was a little while back. Kind of handy because it is always with you

Thanks for the info and reviews. Just ordered one of each. They have gone up a dollar or two since you ordered, but still a good deal compared to what I paid for my other loupe. They'll be good enough for my desk at work, I'm sure.

I received my loupes today. I just tried them out and noticed that the 10x21mm magnifies more than the 20x21mm. Am I reading these incorrectly? The 10 and 20 represent the magnification, correct? Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this with their purchases.
